 Comments:  
The provider of electric service to the city of Yankton and portions of Yankton County is Northwestern Energy, an investor-owned, regulated public utility. Due to the proximity of Gavins Point Dam, a redundant (looped) well maintained transmission and distribution system, and backup generation in the community electric reliability in Yankton is second to none! *NWE draws from a pool of potential capacity from Montana as well. NWE serves customers in South Dakota, Nebraska and Montana.
